Fwd: No President

n+1 editors and contributors on the election. View this email in your browser Dear reader,   This is not the email we planned to send you this month. Like so many of you, we at n+1 are still processing the consequences of last Tuesday's presidential election. As we wrap up Issue 27, due out in December, we've been publishing responses from editors and contributors in a series on our website called No President. The title comes from a line in founding editor Mark Greif's piece: Having seen the slogan and heard the chant, "Not My President," I feel the slogan should instead be "No President." Not only is Trump no president in attitudes and beliefs, but in effect we should decide we do not have a president, through the paradox of the legitimate election of an illegitimate officeholder. We hope that these short essays prove useful to you in the coming days: Mark Greif, No President Dayna Tortorici, What Can Feminists Do? Marco Roth, The Disaster Nikil Saval, What Are We Trying to Figure Out? Keith Gessen, Angry White Men Rachel Ossip, I Voted for All of Them Pankaj Mishra, Rise of the Egocrats Karla Cornejo Viillavicencio, Undocumented Election Night and more. You've probably heard publishers' calls to support independent media. What they say is true: this country needs fact-based journalism and subscriber support to produce the kind of work that keeps citizens informed. But it also needs strong voices from the margins—small, dissenting publications to stay vigilant, keep the level of discourse high, and champion literature even in a culture that takes it for granted. This is the role we aim to fulfill. To do it, n+1 needs you. If you don't subscribe, please support the magazine and its writers by subscribing today.

Thank you for your support—especially in dark times. Most of all, thank you for reading.   Yours, Mark Krotov Publisher Upcoming Events 5 PM, November 15 Mark Greif at UC Berkeley Room D37 Hearst Field Annex University of California, Berkeley [map] [rsvp] Founding editor Mark Greif in conversation with Heather Love, Sharon Marcus, and others. 7:30 PM, November 15 Emily Witt in Seattle Town Hall 1119 Eighth Avenue Seattle [map] [tix] Emily Witt discusses Future Sex with Pepper Schwartz. 7:30 PM, November 16 Emily Witt in San Francisco Green Apple Books on the Park 1231 9th Avenue San Francisco [map] [rsvp] Emily Witt in conversation with Anna Wiener. 7PM, November 16 Sophie Pinkham and Keith Gessen n+1 68 Jay Street, #405 Brooklyn [map] [rsvp] Sophie Pinkham discusses Black Square with founding editor Keith Gessen 7:30 PM, November 17 Emily Witt in Portland Powell's City of Books 1005 West Burnside Street Portland [map] [info] Emily Witt in conversation with Andi Zeisler Copyright © 2016 n+1, All rights reserved.
